 Izukyu
Line opened in 1961 between Ito and Izukyu-Shimoda (45.7 km). Izukyu Line and
JR Ito Line are link-up, and trains of each company run straight through both
lines from the beginning. Now limited express "ODORIKOs" directly connects
Tokyo and Izukyu-Shimoda every day.
The highlight of Izukyu Line is among others the dynamic view of the ocean from
the train. You may feel that the vast ocean is just before you between Izu-Atagawa
and Imaihama-Kaigan (about 10 km). In particular, the train runs along the coast
between Katase-Shirata and Izu-Inatori where the sea spray is about to reach the
train, and you may see Izu Seven Islands beyond the ocean.
If you take the train of Izukyu Line, we recommend our panorama-view train series
"Resort 21." This is the joyful panorama train having three types of
cars. The cars at both heads of the train are "Observation Car" in the
theater-like seat arrangement, and the seats of the intermediate cars are facing
the ocean, called "Sea Side Seats." Further, although the extra charge
is necessary, we have the special car "Royal Box" in which the ceiling
of car changes to "the starlit sky" every time the train goes through
a tunnel. The "Resort 21s" are usually operated as ordinary local trains
between Atami and Izukyu-Shimoda, so you can board "Resort 21" without
any special ticket. Why not choose this economical but joyful train. |
